i wouldn't recommend you even fiddle with Ubuntu. it's just a linux distribution. i really like to promote open source software to my students so i like using Ubtuntu in class from time to time just to show it's viable. but, the truth of the matter is that OS X is far better for the average person.<br><br>

I went with Fusion for several reasons. <br><br>1: They had a great rebate - and the price at Amazon plus the rebate made it $42.00. <br><br>2: It supports multi-processors.

After re-activation of XP Pro, it's worked flawlessly!<br><br>4: VMWare has a long history in virtualization.<br><br>Eric<br><br>I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. - Mark Twain<br>
